Armani Couture Fall 2011.

Not surprisingly, Giorgio Armani chose the East as in main source of inspiration for his couture collection and although he referenced Imperial China most recently in his resort collection, this time around he focused on Japan, in an homage to her beauty and mystery. My absolute favorite parts of the show had to be the fantastically rigid Philip Traecy "hats" (if you could even call them that) especially those delicate light pink ones that were reminiscent of the cherry blossom motifs strewn throughout the collection and the gorgeous shock of tangerine for the closing pieces. Overall, a stunning reflection on both the old and new Japan.
